9:35AM: Hey! Today is a special/weird day, I am going to draw some comics about New England Webcomics Weekend this past weekend! I have a lot of tiny sections to do, so this’ll expand every few hours until I let you know down hurr in the blog post that I am done. Eventually they will be in chronologicalish order. This first one is about not crying when I met Jeph Jacques.

10:37AM: These two sections are both about webcomics people I didn’t really know anything about until I got to webcomics weekend, and now I know things about them! I guess I should put a little more space between these sections. The next one might be a while, while I take a break to eat! (I have never had to put “while” next to “while” in a sentence before today.)

1:01PM I have made the first section, third, about the NEWW pub crawl on Friday night. I was socially awkward during it! But I drank a very yummy very dark beer.

3:41PM I AM QUEER AND/OR ANXIOUS, HAVE YOU HEARD? I might just get everything I wanted to draw drawn by midnight! If you could see me you could see me knocking on wood because haha. These comics, unlike the rest so far, are *SPRINKLED IN* the middle, because they happened after some of the other stuff. Ian says he wishes I drew little comics all day EVERY day but apparently he does not realize that it is making me lose sense of time/space/reality.

8:17PM And we’re back! There will be one more after this one, and I’ll title all the sections.

12:13AM Aaand we’re done. Haha, I’m sorry the titles are so awful. And the lack of transcripts, I can try to work them out this weekend. Also NOBODY STEAL MY CAT SKETCH IDEA IT IS MY BEST IDEA.

I so identify with the awkwardness of interacting with new people in an unfamiliar environment. You’re brave to overcome your anxiety and have a good time. Also, the drawing book was an awesome idea! Thanks for the funny, relatable comic.

Holy crap you were at NEWW?? I had no idea. I was there too! I would have loved to meet you; this comic is one of the few comics I’ve ever read where I can actually relate to the characters. Are you local to the Easthampton area? I live in Greenfield.

I was also at NEWW and I saw the banana coming through, too! Perhaps there were a series throughout the weekend?

In more awkward news, I was also in the audience at a panel where the artist for Dresden Codak said, [Adobe] “Illustrator is for queers” when I asked him if he preferred Illustrator or Photoshop. I was promptly struck dumb. O–o Sad that such a silly thing has stuck with me for several months.
